Case in point: I started a diet like that about 3.5 weeks ago. No bread/cheese/beer/soda/candy/potatoes. I eat a good deal of meat and tons of broccoli, bean sprouts, and mushrooms each day. I also started a simple weight lifting regime (3 times a week), and hit the bike a few times.
I'm down 15 lbs so far and feeling really good. The biggest problem with sustaining this I think is going to be boredom with my food options. I'm not a fan of how most vegetables taste.
- robchez 16y agoGood work mate. With regards to boredom, if you have the time, learn to cook. I can't tell you how much my health has improved from just learning to cook. With the right amount of olive oil (or bacon fat ;]) you can make some pretty awesome salads.
- brandnewlow 16y agoThanks. It's been a bit of a revelation. Two years of bootstrapping turned me into a fatso. I'm getting back down to "fighting shape" and so far so good. The first 4 days were pretty miserable. It's all been bearable since though. The most interesting bit has been how my mood seems to have calmed down on the whole. Tedious tasks that use to frustrate me are now more manageable. I wonder if I had "carb rage" all these years that made my body rise up against actions that weren't going to lead to immediate gratification.
